I always thought it kind of smelled like plants. Chlorophyll or something like that.

If it sticks together well, then it's usually good shit.

I think the stronger it smells the more raw it is, too.. coz I've had some stuff that smelled fucking strong.

With hash, what you're looking for is density, and with weed you want good sized buds with a light colour, people like that no matter how good/bad it smokes. Whatever you do just dont get long, stemmy type of buds, doesnt go down well even if it is chocolate thai.


If you are a hustler, and one of your peoples comes around and has dirty shoes on either they leave or you leave because they are about to either a) beg for shit, b) steal shit, c) snitch, or the worst and most common being d) try all of the above.

edit: dirty shoes are so far the best indicator of brokeness that I've seen.

the only reason it would be sticking together is cause the air being humid, used to happen all the time back in the day, clumpy right?

When its processed its made into a paste then dries in bricks. You know how close you are to the brick by as much as its broken down.

i've been surprised by bud so many times, that i just stopped making presuppositions after a awhile. i've smoked awesome bud that smelled ridiculously dank that ended up not getting me high at all. On the flip side, I've smoked nasty looking and smelling shit that nearly floored my skinny ass.

I mean, obviously the fruity dank shit has a higher probability of being good stuff, but there's really no guarantee. If the THC content is high, then you've got good stuff, regardless of the other characteristics.

When it doesn't stick together, you know it's been cut with a lot of crap. I live in a pretty dry area, so humidity isn't really a factor.

One indicator of pure strength that I've found is the density of the nugs and also the shape. The nugs from the cola, or top of the plant of an average strain will always be better than the lower nugs from a good strain.

Oh, my buddy told me about this one. If you ever have a game disc that starts doing stupid shit (scratched, skips, won't play right), just go to blockbuster, rent the same game, then switch em out. He used to work for blockbuster and since he quit he's done it 100 times. He doesn't take very good care of his games.

Hmm, didn't know that. Never did try to grow though. I suck at agriculture.
